At last night's board meeting, we recognized Junior Joselyn Smith from PPHS for her contributions to her community. She organized an event to beautify the town of Paw Paw by gathering volunteers to paint a mural on a wall at the corner of Winchester and River Street. She also helped create a garden just above the mural.
